Rifle Ammos Descriptions

7.62x39 - 122 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 640 Rounds in Spam Can

A tin typically contains something delicious – fish, perhaps, or some reconstructed pork delicacy. But when Red Army Standard fills a sealed can, you get something even better than luncheon meat. You get affordably priced AK-47 ammo that’s going to remain safe against the elements for as long as you leave it unopened! This 7.62x39 cartridge features a 122 grain full metal jacket projectile. It’s the basic semi-auto bullet, able to navigate a rifle’s feed ramp without issue before it proceeds to prevent lead fouling in the bore. An FMJ doesn’t expand when it hits its target, suiting it best for target practice (but by no means making it ineffective for self-defense). Red Army Standard’s bullets have bimetal jackets unless otherwise indicated, so some indoor ranges may not approve of this magnetic ammo. These rounds’ steel shell casings ought to present no difficulty feeding or extracting in an AK-47, and their polymer coating serves to reduce metal-on-metal friction as they cycle. You will not be able to reload these casings, but picking them up off the ground is a breeze with the help of a magnet. Red Army Standard’s primers are as non-corrosive as any American manufacturer’s, and will prevent rust from harming your rifle.

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
